I am saving up for some new pedals. I wanna get a EH MicroPog, a Fender Blender, a Tuning Pedal and right now I am in the shop for a new distortion pedal, I have my eye on a few different ones. I also have a first act acoustic guitar that I trashpicked and an Epiphone LP Special II from years ago. I will post pics soon.
You know that the Fender Blender is an octave/fuzz, right? The MicroPOG (awesome though it is) is kind of redundant. My recommendation for distortion: Little Big Muff.
As much as I appreciate your attempt at helping me, I look into gear quite a bit before I buy it. The Fender Blender isn't really a bad pedal, but I have decided to go against it. Also, I like the micropog. And as for distortion, I have my eye on a few different ones, for different purposes, the Little Big Muff doesn't quite do it for me. I really don't need general gear recommendations.
The Blender is an interesting beast alright. I owned one for a little bit, and while it did do some cool stuff, it's just really a one trick pony. It depends on what you want really. If you love Billy Corgan and Kevin Shields, than yeah man, you'll probably love it. It's noisy and dissonant. But if you want the Hendrix Octavia thing, then it's definitely not your bag.
If you're looking Muff style but improved look at the stuff Earthquaker Devices is putting out; specifically the hoof.
If you just want a straight ahead do anything distortion, look no further than a ProCo Rat. Those things are stupidly fucking versatile. It can do light OD, Crunchy Distortion, and Fuzz with the turn of a single knob.
